Major Description

In the Latin American Studies major you will learn about this important region of the world, which encompasses more than twenty countries and has connections across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The Latin American Studies major gives you a chance to develop your knowledge in an interdisciplinary context that spans history, culture, language, economics, politics, anthropology, legal studies, environmental studies, and development studies. Throughout this major, you’ll learn about the significant political movements, writers, philosophers, artists, musicians, and pop culture stars from Latin America and study complex regional case studies in democracy, militarism, environmentalism, the drugs trade, colonialism and post-colonialism.

Studying Latin American Studies will make you an effective synthesizer of knowledge from a range of sources and perspectives, as well as a specialist in Latin American regional history and affairs. Consider pairing your Latin American studies major with a second major in the Spanish language for an even more in-depth understanding of this region.
